I studied post secondary in high school and graduated in the top ten of my class. I was on the deans list every year of my college career. I was a teachers aid at the University of Minnesota for three years in the anatomy department. I was a the lead embalmer for the University and worked for the Anatomy bequest program. I was licensed in mortuary science in 2007 and have been working as a funeral director and Retail manager for the past three years. I believe that the purpose of tutoring is to help students help themselves, or to assist or guide them to the point at which they become an independent learner. I know that the content knowledge is an essential ingredient for a tutor; however, to be truly effective, i believe a tutor must combine content knowledge with empathy, honesty and humor. In addition I demonstrate a caring attitude. Caring consists of being organized for the tutorin

I enjoyed helping students with laboratory exercises. The hands on work was of benefit for both the students and myself. I was able to help other employees at work in the same fashion as students in school. I worked as a teaching assistant in chemistry labs while in school at South Dakota and Mankato State U. I had about 8 years ttotal though I only had 2 or so labs weekly during the school year.

My first experience tutoring was in 8th grade when my 6th grade math teacher asked me to help some of his struggling students. I greatly enjoyed the experience and wanted to continue. I didn't get another chance to tutor until my freshman year of college. I volunteered to help a young man who could not take notes for himself. As the semester progressed, he asked for my help in understanding the material, so I began informally tutoring him in Biology. I also had the opportunity to tutor a young student in Short Calculus. Most currently I have been teaching a lab section at the University of Minnesota. The class is about 18 students and meets once a week for 3 hours. I am a very motivating teacher. I encourage my students to strive to do their best with the philosophy that they will be amazed at what they can accomplish. I try to get my students excited about the maaterial by inco

As an undergraduate at the University of Mississippi I was a teaching assistant for a College Skills class and also a year long tutor at Oxford High School in pre-algebra. After graduating from the University of Mississippi I lived in Seoul, South Korea and taught students ages 5-11 English as a Second Language, including math and social studies. Upon returning to the United States I began working on my master's degree in TESL and I've also had the opportunity to teach 3 credit bearing college courses from 2009 to current. I am qualified to tutor pre-calculus and science as I received an associate of science degree where I completed Calculus II, Organic Chemistry and Genetics. I love working with all ages and generally prefer English as a Second Language students, but I enjoy working with everyone. My teaching style is very student centered as I try to figure out what a learner likes

As a recent graduate of Saint John’s University, I possess many skills that make me a great tutor candidate. I graduated with a BA in Biology, along with a minor in secondary education and teaching certification pending the completion of my student teaching in fall 2010. Throughout college, I held many teaching and tutoring positions. I was a site coordinator for the Fast Forward Youth Program, where I tutored underrepresented high school students and helped them gain college access. Other positions included counseling high school students at a youth in theology and ministry institute and volunteering as a catechist for 5th grade students at the St. Joseph Lab School. I love teaching, but I especially love one on one tutoring. Students I have tutored typically have a much better understanding of the subject they are studying. I approach tutoring as a facilitator of learning, rather

This past year I graduated magna cum laude from Carleton College with a Bachelor’s in History and Medieval Studies. I have studied abroad at Oxford University, and in Rome and Romania, and have a lot of experience in writing research reports and essays. As a student of the liberal arts I have studied a wide variety of subjects, from theology to environmental science, from Old English to statistics and am comfortable in almost any subject. During this past academic year I tutored a home schooled child one on one several hours a week in world history and research methodology; I was in effect his sole teacher in the subject and also helped him improve his writing and study skills. For the past four years I have taught chess to children aged six to ten, emphasizing analytical skills.

I believe that people learn in different fashions. For example, I feel that some concepts may be better explained with tangible objects while other concepts are learned better when questioned and discussed. By exploring the different ways of learning we can find what works best for that individual and use that method as a tool for their understanding. I feel, in the past, that many of the peers I tutored not only obtained/recollected more information, but were more comfortable in a quiet, relaxed environment. By providing this, it sets the foundation for them to focus on the task at hand. Having attended higher learning institutions for over 6 years, my drive for more education is apparent. Throughout my experiences, not only have I been tutored, but have tutored my peers in mostly math and sciences. I have developed my speaking and writing abilities through my own employment experiences

My journey to the higher education started ten years ago at the age of 16 when I graduated from high school with honors and was accepted to Department of Law of the Belarusian State Economic University. As for now my educational background also includes BS in Biochemistry (pre-med) from University of Minnesota and I am currently pursuing Master of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering. I was recognized as “Excellent Student” in subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Human Anatomy, Genetics, and General Biology and tutored those subjects to college students at Normandale Community College. Education means a change—a change that we acquire through a long and difficult process of learning, a change that makes us better people and makes our world a better place to live in. But education is not easy; it is something that requires some help and a lot of passion. I believe that my love to t

When working one-on-one, my style depends completely on the student's needs. Accordingly, I always begin with a determination of those needs. Usually this is done informally, through conversation and perhaps a little formative assessment. Once the student's needs are determined, I work with the student to set a series of goals by which these needs can be met. We then work together, taking all the time we need, to accomplish those goals one by one. Having earned my undergraduate in Physics, I am well-versed in the foundations of science and mathematics. My masters degree in education reflects my commitment to helping others master those foundations. I have three years of experience as a science and math teacher. During that time, I have taught Precalculus, Calculus, Physical Science, Honors Physical Science, Physics, and AP Physics.

I strongly believe that all children can not only learn, but can eventually excel in their chosen field. All they need is proper environment, encouragement and training to achieve their academic goals. As educators, our responsibility is to provide these, coupled with open, clear communication and personal attention. In 2001, I graduated with Bachelors in Chemical Engineering from one the prestigious engineering institutions in Northern India. I had always been a brilliant academic student, excelling in science and mathematics, and had tutored high school students in science/maths previously. After graduation, I started a training academy to tutor students in maths and science which eventually helped students to develop strong fundamentals in these subjects and apply for pre-engineering admission exams. Besides, I have excellent verbal and written communication skills and a positive atti
